Nikocado Avocado reveals the real reason why he made ‘over the top’ weight gain videos

YouTube star Nikocado Avocado has finally broken his silence after shocking the world with his weight loss transformation and revealing the real reason why he conducted his social experiment.

Nikocado Avocado took over social media on September 7, revealing in a viral video that he had secretly lost 100kg over the course of two years while uploading pre-recorded content.

During that time, the YouTuber became a topic of concern for viewers who worried he was eating himself into an early grave, but he said it was all a carefully planned social experiment.

Nikocado went silent for a while after his big reveal, uploading just one TikTok video, further confusing viewers into thinking he hadn’t actually lost weight after all.

Nikocado Avocado shocked the internet by revealing that he had secretly lost 100kg over the course of two years.

However, he proved these rumors to be false in his next upload on October 22, 2024, when he showed that he was 100kg lighter while digging into a Chicken Big Mac from McDonald’s.

In another video uploaded that same day, he gave his response to fellow YouTuber MoistCritikal’s reaction to his weight loss, revealing that he took inspiration from actors who had undergone massive transformations for their roles, such as Christian Bale, Joaquin Phoenix and Brendan Frasier.

Perhaps most surprising was his reason for creating the “over the top” character he played in his pre-recorded videos in recent years, saying he just wanted to entertain viewers and distract them from the doom and gloom of the daily news.

“I just wanted to make people laugh,” he said. “That was my dream role that I didn’t get on Broadway, that I didn’t get in the theater. It’s one thing to do a show for a month; it’s another thing to do a show for eight years.
